The Bianconeri needed to beat the Ligue 1 side on the final matchday of the Champions League group stage to stand a chance at booking a direct place in the Round of 16. In hindsight, even three points wouldn’t have been sufficient. ............ “We wanted to win, but there was a bit of fatigue, and we couldn’t manage it,” said the Brazilian in his post-match interview. “We made some rotation, which made sense — it was a game where we could do that. We move on and focus on the match against Parma, which is one we have to win. “When the coach speaks, he’s always right. There was mental fatigue too, and we made mistakes we don’t usually make. You could see it today, but we have to keep going.” ............ “I feel a bit exhausted. Since coming back from my second injury, I’ve played every match, I haven’t been able to get a game off yet, but I’m feeling good. “I’m working well, I just need to be careful with recovery in training. I hope to keep it up because from now on every match is important and I can’t afford to miss any.” ............ .

The Bianconeri settled for a draw in the French principality on the final matchday of the Champions League, with neither side able to break the deadlock. ............ For his part, Alessandro Del Piero agreed with the choices made by the Juventus manager, reckoning the importance of keeping Yildiz fresh ahead of the upcoming fixtures. “Leaving Yildiz out? I think it’s a smart move. I read it as giving those on the fringes the chance to get minutes and prove themselves in a Champions League match,” argued the iconic Juventus captain during his post-match appearance. “Tonight’s game is important to finish as a seeded team, so you rest your most important creative player, Yildiz, who needs to be at peak physical condition to produce that burst. “It’s about giving the right weight to this qualification: beyond whether you’re seeded or not, regardless of playing the first leg at home or away, the mindset is ‘we go out there to take on anyone’. “He’s trying to build a team that’s strong whatever happens. You end up with a happier squad after the match if everyone performs well: you satisfy those who haven’t played, and those in the starting XI will accept it for a while longer.” ............ ormer West Ham and Lazio striker Paolo Di Canio argued that the Juventus head coach should have fielded his strongest lineup. “Juventus can’t afford these kinds of choices,” said the former Sunderland manager, who was also present in the Sky studios. “When you face teams in Europe, even if they’re struggling, they have more power and stamina than you. Monaco have players who will hurt you in space. Right now, Juventus can’t afford to leave out certain key players: Locatelli’s passing patterns, Yildiz’s bursts. “Sometimes you have to do it out of necessity, but it should be in a moment of growth, when everyone has improved. You can’t afford these choices because Thuram can’t do what Locatelli does — you lose tempo and it becomes a different Juventus. “And the opponent you’re facing isn’t one of the thirteen teams below you in Serie A, it’s Monaco.” ............ .
